Why this flag-off matters
AI-enabled fraud is moving faster than investor education.
DecodeAI gives Malaysians a safe place to practise detecting deepfakes, spoofed websites, fake apps and panic-driven scam tactics before real money is at risk.
AI hallucinations
Confident but fabricated AI outputs can shape real financial decisions when investors are not trained to verify.
Platform-scale scam campaigns
Spoofed websites, malicious apps and AI-written messages can reach large audiences instantly.
Public education with impact
The campaign prioritises vulnerable communities, retail investors, students and working families.
What guests will see
A playable anti-scam escape room, not another warning pamphlet.
Players infiltrate a fictional scam ring, guided by VIRTU.AI, a voiced 3D companion. Every puzzle teaches a practical defence skill and every session can be measured for awareness uplift.
